OXYGEN THERAPY

Oxygen therapy (oxygen supplementation) is used to treat emphysema, pneumonia, heart disorders and any disease that impairs the bodies ability to take up oxygen from the air. Oxygen therapy is also used medically for patients who require mechanical ventilation, often at concentrations above 21% found in ambient air.

The therapeutic use of medical oxygen requires a prescription, trained clinical assessment and follow-up, proper instruction on use, and the service and support that only a local, home medical equipment company can provide.
